Hi there,

I'm changing my brake pads soon. I'm tired of BMW dust and will go with Cool Carbon pads via bavarian autosport. Anyone try these?

I've done brakes before and last time changed out the rotors with pads on my audi. Around 50K as well. the old rotors seemed to have plenty of life left and seemed sort of a waste throwing them out but went ahead with new zimmermans.

Any thoughts on this? Anyone run rotors into the 100K zone? New rotors aren't cheap at over $150 for each.

Appreciate any help?

Hi CVT,

I've sold a lot of brake setups on this forum and most people go with the R1 Concept rotors paired with the Hawk HPS pads.

To give you an idea, here is the price break down for your car:

R1 Eline Drilled/Slotted
Front - $260/pair
Rear - $195



Hawk HPS Pads
Front - $100
Rear - $82

Shipping - Free

The Hawk HPS pads are a great low-dust pad but still offer great stopping power. This is a very popular pad on this forum and most people love them.

requiring new rotors isnt a 'what do you think?' question. You measure the thickness to determine if a replacement is required.
